Navisworks 2026: Move Objects Tutorial – Test Clash Fixes Fast
Learn how to move objects in Navisworks 2026 using the Transform tool. This non-destructive workflow lets you reposition geometry to test clash resolutions, check clearances, and create clean visuals for coordination meetings without touching your original Revit, AutoCAD, or IFC files.
You’ll see exactly when and why to use Move vs Rotate vs Scale, how to make precise moves with the gizmo and numeric input, and how to save or reset transforms. Perfect for BIM coordinators, clash managers, and model reviewers working on large federated models.
What you’ll learn:
00:00 What “Move Objects” actually does in Navisworks 2026
00:42 Where to find the Move tool and how the gizmo works
01:30 Selecting objects and moving on X, Y, Z axes
02:15 Precise moves with numeric input
03:05 Temporary vs permanent transforms
03:45 Saving and resetting transforms
04:20 Common mistakes to avoid Key steps covered:
Select objects in the Scene View or Selection Tree
Press F3 or go to Home - Transform - Move to activate the gizmo
Drag axes for quick moves or enter exact distances for precision
Use Transform - Save Transform to keep changes in your NWF/NWD
Reset with Transform - Reset Transform or Alt + C
Moves are ideal for testing “what if” scenarios before sending RFIs. Remember: this doesn’t change source files. For permanent design changes, update the model in Revit/AutoCAD and re-append.
Works in Navisworks Manage, Simulate, and Freedom 2026. If you work with 50k+ object models, this workflow will save you hours in coordination.
